How to Apply for Carbon Sales Manager

at BioLite

🏢 About BioLite

BioLite uniquely bridges off-grid energy solutions with climate impact, focusing on tangible carbon reduction through innovative projects rather than just trading credits. Their dual mission of providing clean energy access while developing high-integrity carbon credits makes them stand out in the carbon market space. Working here offers the chance to directly connect corporate climate action with meaningful on-the-ground environmental and social benefits.

About This Role

This Carbon Sales Manager role involves selling BioLite's carbon credits across voluntary markets, Article 6.2 transactions, and CORSIA-eligible pathways to corporate buyers, airlines, and intermediaries. You'll structure complex deals (spot sales, forward contracts, multi-year offtakes) while ensuring project alignment with evolving compliance standards. The role is impactful because you'll directly scale BioLite's climate solutions while shaping how high-integrity carbon markets function across multiple regulatory frameworks.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves morning calls with European carbon market intermediaries, structuring a forward contract for Article 6.2 credits with internal legal teams, updating sales materials to reflect new CCP requirements, and an afternoon pitch to an airline's sustainability team about CORSIA-eligible pathways. You'll constantly balance deal-making with ensuring project documentation meets evolving compliance standards across multiple regulatory frameworks.

🎯 Who BioLite Is Looking For

3

Demonstrate knowledge of BioLite's specific project types (off-grid energy solutions) and how they differ from nature-based carbon credits

Show how you've navigated evolving integrity frameworks like CCPs in previous roles

5

Highlight any experience working with legal/finance teams on structured environmental commodity agreements
